Commercial Description:
IPA stands for India Pale Ale and ours is an American version of the classic style. IPA’s namesake lies in its colonial roots. British soldiers on their way to India dark a lot of beer, but found it would go stale on the long voyages. Meanwhile, brewers knew that by adding more hops, the beer would stay fresh. Voila! A new style was born and it is one we are proud to brew. Southern Tier IPA is a triple-hopped on its journey to your glass for a fully aromatic experience.

Bottle, 12 fl. oz. Pours a golden beer with an offwhite head. The aroma is hops with notes of sweetness. The flavor is hops with citrus and grapefruit. The palate leaves good bitterness. Overall a really good beer.

12oz - Large floral nose, good gold color, nice lace, enough malt to support a strong hop hit. One of the better IPAs, and for me likely traveled the least.

Hazy amber gold with bubbbly head that disappears with some lace. Floral, candy sweet grapefruit, pine and a little resin on the nose. Bright and sweet on the tip of the tongue, Hop bitterness opens up with a piney, grassy, citrussy bitterness. Finishes clean with a prickly grassy bitterness on the flat of the tongue, and peppery alcohol. A very nice easy drinking ipa, much less hop character than southern tiers other ipa’s. Very good, but doesn’t stand out.

Bottle at 3 Små Rum in Gothenburg, April 2009. Nice hoppy aroma and a pleasant bitter taste with hops and caramel. The finish was crisp.
